Using data from the 2007 survey on "Realms of Exclusion in Poland" this article examines Poles' attitudes toward immigrants and ethnic minorities, particularly Roma, Jews, Vietnamese, and Ukrainians. The analysis explores the relationship between the criteria of inclusion of foreigners in the Polish nation and opinions on the reasons for their exclusion. The main thesis of the study is that in Poland, as in other countries of the European Union, there is a transformation of the legitimate forms of exclusion from the nation: from exclusion of internal ethnic minorities to external foreigners (immigrants and refugees) and from collectivistic to individualistic forms of inclusion and exclusion based on universalistic criteria. The analysis shows the influence of the socioeconomic situation and political views on social distance from ethnic minorities. A tendency to exclude others from the national community is strongest among those who find themselves in a condition perceived as a cause of social exclusion; those who feel themselves excluded tend to exclude others. Support for Poland's membership in the European Union has a significant effect on open and tolerant attitudes toward ethnic minorities and immigrants
